Wawa Settlement

Wawa Settlement, Eligible Customers to Get $13M After Data Breach

Wawa has agreed to pay a settlement of $13.2 million to settle a class-action lawsuit for a massive data breach that exposed customers’ sensitive information in 2019. This settlement includes up to $10 million for customers and $3.2 million in fees. The company will also spend $35 million for upgrading its cybersecurity

Customers who made purchases at one of its convenience stores during a 2019 data breach may be eligible for a gift card or cash. Under a proposed settlement filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Friday, the convenience store chain would provide customers with up to $8 million in Wawa gift cards and pay up to $1 million in cash payments to affected consumers. A judge overseeing the case must still approve the settlement.

Wawa customers who used their payment cards at Wawa between March 4 and Dec. 12, 2019 will get gift cards. Customers who experienced out-of-pocket losses will receive up to $1 million in cash payments. Eligible class members will be divided into three groups:

  • The first group includes those who bought something at Wawa using their credit or debit card during the incident period and spent time monitoring their account because of the breach. Those Class members will get a $5 gift card.
  • The second is for customers who made a purchase and can submit proof of a fraudulent charge or attempted charge, in exchange for a $15 gift card.
  • The third is for customers who can show any losses suffered as a result of using their card at Wawa during the security breach. Those members can get up to $500.

You can’t file a claim just yet for this settlement. But a website will be launched soon, so keep an eye out if you are eligible.
